Never used it with Screen as the ubuntu box, a light weight embedded dell PC
that i stuck Ubuntu on. There is no need for screen. I can ssh into the box
and use BBBS from the command line. Or telnet in if I need to read netmails.
Or http(s) in as well :)

I tend to use binkd/hpt for point or bluewave mail for my own ftn echo stuff.

BBBS starts at boot up using the @reboot cron event. I don't put the bbbsd
onto standard ports simply to stop a lot of crap coming through trying to
hack. I just cron mail processing every 5 minutes
